I'm getting two conflicting stories on the whole Iraq & 9/11 issue, one from the liberal NY Times, one from the conservative National Review (see Iraq + 9/11 story here).
I don't particularly think it matters whether Iraq was involved in 9/11 -- proof of a link would not affect my opinion. I believe that the war was right for a number of reasons which I've expressed in the past. I don't base those feelings on a need for 9/11 vengeance.
I also believe that if the connection were found, the anti-war mantra would shift to the WMD issue. And if WMD were found, they would emphasize the lack of UN support -- and so on and so on.
The majority of commentators on this issue are like novelists who know the ending of a book and have to find a way to get there. Their opinions are pre-determined, so their arguments are intellectually dishonest -- which makes it very hard to observe a debate or try to sort the facts in NY Times & The National Review. |
